Skins/Bills Game: Atmosphere At FedEx Today

[BDBohnzie]

It was a shame that during a moment of silence to honor a fallen Redskin, that you had people who didn't have enough respect to keep their damn mouth shut. Sorry, but only a complete moron would do such a thing, and if I offend someone, so be it. And I saw a few people with their hats on during the National Anthem. Some people will never understand...

It was certainly a weird vibe at FedEx yesterday. Went with a friend of mine, taking the Landover shuttle in, and caught up with a few friends at their tailgate for about 10 minutes before heading in. Got to our seats in time for the start of the honoring. Watched a Redskins fan (female) look like a total ignoramus by throwing not 1 but 2 chicken tenders at a Buffalo fan (yes the Buffalo fan was mouthy, but not disrespectful at all...until he said I will whip your ass when our entire section just happened to go silent). Stood for most of the 2nd half, watched in awe as the Skins gave the game away, watched another fan get held back by 2 people to not go after more Buffalo fans, and had a solemn walk back to the Landover shuttle in the rain.

Yeah, I parked in that random ass parking lot all skewed out of the way so my walk back was quite humbling. We sat in a good hour and a half of traffic and just sort of talked about the experience. I didn't go to the game for a win, I went just to be there.

I wasn't disappointed par se, but a win would have felt better.

On my walk back I witnessed a brawl between fans and it was pretty funny. A few dudes started slugging it out, and some big Redskins fan just open field tackled the Buffalo fan from behind. It was pretty funny.

Overall it was a somber experience. The CP touchdown was great (I'll post the video of it in a bout 30 min after it uploads to webshots). It was good to see the boys come back. At any rate.. I've got some cleaning to do, so I'll let this shit upload, and then post a link up in a little bit.

Cheers.
